What vehicle is the turbo manifold for? That will let us know if the SPA manifold will fit your app.
The SPA manifolds only real flaw, mainly the wastegate location is not near the center dump .
Not a big deal,it works fine from what I have heard,so don't let that make you not purchase one. It's a really nice manifold!As far as I know,, there is no other manifolds made for our engines.
Other than the wastegate location,it is a well built manifold & the design is much better than a log type manifold.
I have one & plan on using it someday on my old 250 longblock.
Looking to get approx 400 hp to the wheels @ least .
I remember a guy in Brazil making 860 HP w/a SPA manifold on 250 CI engine.That is a lot of HP, a tubular well designed manifolds will make the most HP,,,but,, you need to ask yourself,are you looking for every last bit of HP available?
For now, I am looking for easier simple install on a turbo set-up & the SPA manifold is perfect for my needs. Heck if tuned correct my old 250 could make approx 625 HP @ the crank ,not for long, but its possible w/the supporting components I have.
The SPA manifold is a tight fit on my 69 Camaro,but it is doable.
So basically it will fit 67-69 Camaros, 68-73 ,74? Novas, Omegas,Skylarks,Pontiac ?? basically the GM versions of those Novas 68-73 -74?.
They will probably fit newer years also,but I have not seen them in any.
The stock restrictive Syclone/Typhoom exhaust manifolds have made 750+ HP to the wheels.
Here is a post w/some pics of the manifolds.
